Rebeeen frowned, “What Not Lily will always be my priority, no matter what. Well, lers get married soon then!” she hurried out of the condo, her mind in tummail, afraid she was making the same mistake. Even though sean might not have an emotional bond with her, they would be legally bound, and a teared seam would turn o out like Nicholas

Sean sighed deeply.

You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to day? I don’t want to seem like I’m forcing you to marry me, so I’ll ask again, are we going for the hung or not?” Sean naked, as it understanding the struggle in Rebecca’s min

Rebecca glanced at Lily, who was playing in the stroller, she took a deep breath, knowing the only reason she was with Sean was to protect Lily, an she had to be sure her decision.

“Yeah, let’s do the fitting,” she finally devided she pushed Lily’s stroller, walking half distracted, hoping she had made the right

“Get in. I’ll take care of Lily” Sean said as he locked an SUV. Rebeeen frowned, “Whose car is this?” she asked, confused.

“I bought it earlier while you were napping” Bean answered lightly. He opened the back door, swiftly installed the car seat, and transfired Lily into it. Rebecen watched in

dress?” Scan replied, fastening his scatbelt and starting the car at a moderate speed.

“I don’t care what kind of wedding dress I wear, we both know this isn’t a real wedding, I

mean-”

“Yeah, but I guess you’d want to look good on your social media, and you have a high sense of fashion. You need to convince Victoria that you genuinely want this marriage. You don’t have to follow my suggestion, it’s just my opinion,” Sean interjected, keeping his eyes on the road.

Rebecca puffed her cheeks, then glanced at Sean for a moment. “Why do you always think of such details? You’re like a Public Relations Expert instead of a doctor,” she muttered, unable to hide her surprise.

Sean shrugged. “So? Vera Bridal or?”

“Valentine Avoh, then!” Rebecca said quickly, making Sean smile slightly. “Very well, Ma’am. Just show me the way!”

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the Valentine Avoh Atelier. As they were about to enter, the sound of a camera click from behind made Rebecca stop. She turned to Sean, who was pushing the stroller with a sleeping Lily inside. “Just ignore them, let’s get in!” Sean gently rubbed Rebecca’s back, providing fodder for the paparazzi.

Rebecca took a deep breath, trying to relax her facial muscles. Before she could step inside, she heard more paparazzi arriving. Reflexively, she and Sean turned around and saw a black sedan pulling up.

“I know that car,” Rebecca muttered, her jaw tightening.

Sean frowned, “What?”

“It’s them, let’s get in.” Rebecca turned and walked into the boutique, followed by a still puzzled Sean.

Inside the boutique, Sean peeked outside. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Harvey Specter and Alicia Fox walking side by side, followed by the flash of cameras.

“Interesting,” Sean muttered, turning to look at the visibly tense Rebecca.

“Of all the places in New York, why do we have to run into them here? Truly strange fate,” she sighed deeply, trying to relax her shoulder muscles.

“Good evening, may I help you?” A female sales assistant in a neat black blazer approached them.

“Yeah, I’d like to see this dress,” Rebecca said, showing a photo of a dress she had seen in Vogue on her phone.

“Sure, this way please.” The sales assistant led Rebecca and Sean to a hallway, Just as they disappeared behind the display room, Harvey and Alicia entered the boutique.

“You can hide in the fitting room until they leave if you’re not ready to meet them,” Sean said, flopping onto a sofa.

Rebecca played with her cold, sweaty fingers, feeling challenged by Sean’s words. “I don’t care if I run into them,” she replied, swallowing hard.

“Miss Harper, we have the dress in the fitting room, whenever you’re ready,” the sales assistant said with a wide smile.

“Can you take care of Lily for me?” Rebecca asked, terrified that Lily might be taken from her. Sean smiled, “Of course, she’s my daughter.”

Rebecca gave a faint smile, then turned and followed the sales assistant.

“Did you know your ex–husband is here too?” the sales assistant asked cautiously. Rebecca silently cursed, ‘Damn, she knows who I am!”

Rebecca only grimaced, “I can’t believe that snake has the same taste as me,” she muttered cynically, no longer trying to be an angel.

The sales assistant smiled awkwardly, scratching her non–itchy car before saying, “Maybe he’s trying to be like you, Ma’am.”

Rebecca turned to the assistant, surprised by her words. “I’m sorry, Ma’am, I shouldn’t have said that,” the sales assistant apologized, fearing Rebecca might report her to her

manager.

“It’s fine,” Rebecca said, then stepped into the fitting room. She took off her red dress, and the assistant stared in disbelief. “How can your body look so perfect after giving birth?!”

Rebecca looked at her reflection in the

she replied, putting on a white lace dress with a

low back and a large white bow at the back.

The sales assistant helped Rebecca and ensured the dress was properly fitted. “Perfect! Absolutely perfect, as if this wedding dress was made for you! May I share this on social media? You know what? Alicia Fox might choose the same dress, so I need to make sure people know she copied your style, not the other way around,” she said cheerfully.

Rebecca looked at her, reading the name tag pinned to her chest.

“Cassic?”

“Yes, Ma’am?” the assistant smiled.

“Why are you doing all this? I mean, you sound like you’re on my side, do you say such things to all your clients?” Rebecca asked, tilting her head, curious about Cassie.

Cassie grinned widely, pulling out her phone to show that she had taken a photo with Rebecca a year ago. “I’ve been holding back, but actually, Becky, I’m a huge fan of yours!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.

Rebecca smiled, looking at her picture from a year ago, “Time flies, huh? Thanks, Cassie, people like you keep me going,” she said, her voice choking.

Cassie held Rebecca’s hand, “You’ve done great. You may not know it, but many of your fans believe in you. All you need to do is go out there and show the truth,” she said, sounding wise and mature for the first time since they started talking.

“Okay, are you ready?” Cassie asked, preparing to open the curtain.

Rebecca nodded, looking at her reflection in the mirror one more time.

“He seems like a good man, by the way,” “Cassie muttered, peeking out and seeing Sean making a bottle for Lily.

“He is.” Rebecca smiled faintly.

“On three, okay? One, two, three and here’s the bride!” Cassie pulled the curtain open completely. Rebecca smiled widely, but her smile faded when she saw not only Sean and Lily there.
